Have you ever thought about joining the RS21 fleet, and would like to get a feel for the class before taking the next step? Or perhaps you're looking for a truly competitive, one-design racing experience?

Chartering an RS21 could be the perfect way to get involved.

For 2026, RS Sailing have 6 x RS21 charter boats available for both the UK & Ireland Cup series as well as a range of International Events.

Calendar highlights include:

  • UK National Championship | 22-25 August | Torquay

    · European Championship | 23-26 July | RS Games part of Travemünder Woche

  • World Championship | 28-31 October | Cannes

    For the full global calendar - including 2027 key dates - visit the RS21 Iternational Class website.

    Why Charter an RS21?

    • Try before you buy - Experience the boat and class firsthand before committing to ownership
    • Convenience - Boats are prepared, maintained, and ready to race on arrival
    • Access top events - Compete at major championships without the logistics of transporting a boat
    • Level playing field - Identical boats mean the focus is purely on skill and teamwork
    • Flexible options - Charter a single event or build a multi-event campaign
    • Professional support - Backed by the RS Sailing team throughout your event

    RS Sailing offer charters for individual events, or charter packages across multiple regattas. For pricing and options head to rssailing.club. Or, if you'd prefer to talk to a member of the RS sales team, drop them a line on or call 01794 526760.

    As RS21 UK & Ireland Class Manager, Liam Willis, puts it: "There's no better way to experience the RS21 than by racing it. Step onboard, feel the performance, and see what makes this fleet so exciting - while getting a true taste of ownership along the way."

    Prefer a more relaxed introduction? You can also demo an RS21 at your own pace - find out how to try a boat with RS Sailing demo days in 2026, here.
